'v vi ? - "j: '"A* iiu'i'?{>;' M An Evening In Dixie" All too fust Is the old plantation darkey with his delightful manners, never failing courtesy, and humorous dialect, disappearing from our midst. The passing of each year leaves us 1 fewer and fewer of these valuable friends, hs well as servants, who belonged to our fathers and grandfathers in the sixties. It is indeed worth while for ua to seige every opportunity vto keep alive in our own minds, and hearts and to create in the minds and hearts of our children, vivid pictures of the old southern negro, superstitious it's true, but unconsciously humorous, full of wisdom, instinctively polite, and faithful unto death. It is right that we should preserve and perpetuate bhis fast disappearing type together with the folk lore which he has given to us. Soon the Camden grown ups are going to have a rare opportunity to refresh their memories of the plantation negro, and the boys and girls of our tpwn will have the pleasure and privilege of hearing songs and stories sung and told in true darkey fashion. On next Thursday evening, February 28th, ajt t>he school auditorium, Mrs. Joel S. Aiken, of Greenwood,' dialect reader, singer, and impersonator, is going to present "An Evening in Dixie," picturing in song, story, and dress, the plantation life of the Old South. She will specialize in negro dialect and spirituals, choosing her numbers from such writers as Thomas Nelson Page and Paul Dunbar. Mrs. Aiken herself, is a writer of no mean reputation, and she will at this time give interpretations of some of her own contributions to literature. This program is mostly humorous but portrays, also, the pathos, superstition, and philosophy to be found in the southern folk lore. From all the cities and .towns which Mrs. Aikeh has visited come enthusiastic reports lauding her inimitable readings, bandanna songs and negro spirituals. This promises to be one of the most pleasurable entertainments of the season, an added attraction will be several numbers by Camden talent. This program is being given for the benefit of the Camden high school Library. The entertainment is worthy of your time and the cause is worthy of your support; so plan for a delightful "Evening In Dixie." Time?8:30 p. m.?^admission 25, 35, and 50c.
